The Choosing of the Title

There were a few reasons of why I had picked "Sunshine and Misery" as my blog title. The first was because I had taken the phrase "Sunshine and Happiness" and changed it to another term that people don't usually associate with. Also, sunshine is generally associated with happiness instead of something sad. So my title in itself is contradictory, or an oxymoron. It ties to me because I'm really big on optimism and being happy, but I also can't lie to someone if something is going wrong, and so misery ties in. I like sunshine and to bring happiness to others, but if misery is what it really is, then that's what I'll cause. And so because of all this, the title "Sunshine and Misery" was created.

  1. That's a really cool oxymoron. I agree with you when you said, "I like sunshine and to bring happiness to others, but if misery is what it really is, then that's what I'll cause."

  2. I agree that's a great title. The contradiction between the two makes the blog more interesting to look at.
